Doc Ana Rusu receives 7 MSEK from SSF

Dr Ana Rusu

Doc Ana Rusu is one of eleven project leaders to receive funding from the SSF program Software Intensive Systems. She will get 7 MSEK during 2,5 years to continue the research into traffic management system demonstrated by the Absolut Team winning the SDR Smart Radio Challenge last year.

In total 56 research group applied for grants to build complex IT-systems, so called Software Intensive Systems. SSF wanted to put the emphasis on multi-disciplinary research groups and welcomed partners in industry. All projects must result in a so called “demonstrator”.

Doc Ana Rusu is senior researcher at RaMSiS group and will get 7 MSEK for her project “Real-time Traffic Management System using SDR Technology”. The project is run by the RaMSiS group with Dr Ana Rusu as project leader and Prof. M. Ismail as co-applicant. To meet the challenges the proposed research brings, they will look for cooperation with other academic and industrial partners with expertise in communication systems, and other areas related to the research project.

“I feel very proud and happy that my proposal has been granted, Ana Rusu says. It is really good that we will have the opportunity to continue the research on Traffic Management System developed by the ABSOLUT team for the SDR Smart Radio Challenge. As faculty advisor of the ABSOLUT team, I hope that some of the ABSOLUT students will be future members of the SSF project group.”

The project description in brief:

“This proposal discusses development of a novel real-time traffic management system exploiting state-of-the-art wireless technology. The vision is based on the notion that existing wireless infrastructures can and should be "upgraded" to enable seamless integration of such real-time traffic management system. The proposed research is an attempt to develop and validate the tools necessary for such an upgrade to become a reality.”

More Campus Kista among the “winners”

An other Campus Kista-based researcher was among the lucky eleven. Kristina Höök, professor at Stockholm University and director of the Vinn-Excellence Center Mobile Life got 13 MSEK for her project "Designing Supple Systems".
